I have done great! Down about 85 pounds. I feel amazing!!

very cool! I had Dr. Nora. The entire group is amazing!

Where are you having your surgery? I had mine October 29th at Sarasota Memorial.

@@Floridagirl2 I am in Sarasota!

I'm supposed to get around 90g of protein a day.

@@Beni It seams that I am in a stall as well. I have only lost 14 pounds since surgery and today is the 4th day I have not lost anything. It is so frustrating!

Well, I had my first big outing since surgery. On Saturday, one of our local beaches, Siesta Key, was having a Sand Sculpture Competition. My husband and I went and met some friends there. We brought chairs so I could sit. My chair was one of those recliner type folding chairs. I pretty much stayed in that chair the whole time listening to the live bands on the beach. It was so nice to be among the living again and breathing that beach air! I was hurting pretty bad that night though. Still taking baby steps in my recovery. And now I think I have hit the dreaded stall. I have pretty much been at the same weight for 3 days now.

I had the yummiest dinner last night! I found it on the web. It is called Shelly's Ricotta Bake. It was delish! The original recipe called for regular ricotta cheese, but I made it with skim ricotta. Tasted like lasagna without the noodles. Definitely a keeper!

Staples are out!! :-)

Woo hoo!! Doing the happy dance for you! Well, as well as I can from my recliner.

Ugh, that doesn't sound fun. I hope it isn't anything too serious and it will be easy for you!

A very strange feeling! I just whipped up some tuna salad and some egg salad for later. I think I puréed the tuna too much. It looks more like tuna paste. Lol. Live and learn!

So, it took me 30 minutes to eat it and I still couldn't finish it all. Such a strange feeling! My pouch was making little grumbling noises as I was eating it. Probably wondering what this new stuff is I am putting into it! :-)

I am so happy!! :-)
